Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017213716A1] An apparatus and method for inserting prosthesis implants into a patient pocket. The apparatus has three openings including a prosthesis opening, a large proximal opening, and a small proximal opening. The apparatus prevents infection; eases insertion and placement; and reduces complications. In use, the bellow is placed through the patient incision while allowing the bellow to be manipulated to force the prosthesis into a surgical pocket of a patient. Then the bellow is rotated so the distal end becomes the proximal end and inserted into the second incision while allowing the bellow to be manipulated to force the prosthesis into the second pocket.
